A Bit of Magic

Posted on October 18, 2011

Within the quiet pulse of morning

a faint tune hums.

And there,

beneath the burning cloak

of autumn

a fiddler – disguised as shadow,

plays.

~ Darlene Terry

I was driving to the dump this morning and noticed something new along the way.  I stopped the car on the way home, got out and what a joyful surprise awaiting me.  I call it a sweet bit of magic, and only 5 minutes from home.

Autumn Images in Midcoast Maine

Posted on October 18, 2010

Oh, how I love Fall ~ let me count the ways . . .

I love the smells of dying leaves, the crisp air scented with the smoke coming from wood stoves.

I love the fact that there are no annoying bugs and that I am 99.9% sure we won’t have another hot, humid day until next year!!

I love the quiet, less hurried days, the feel of flannel sheets, the comfort of warm soup.

I love to be able to bake again – rarely does my oven get turned on in the summer; I would most likely suffocate from the heat in my house if I did.

I love the colors.  I have always been drawn to the warm side of the color spectrum and Autumn permeates warmth.  The following images are glimpses of the warm beauty all around.

I really love old graveyards, and this one is a beauty, especially surrounded by the gold of morning.

A different angle of all the giant pumpkins in town.
